Cookies Policy

This cookies policy explains how prishtinaairport.com (the "Website") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our site. We're committed to protecting your privacy while providing useful information about Tirana International Airport.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, phone, or other devices when you visit them. These files contain information that helps websites remember your preferences, track your usage patterns, and improve your browsing experience. Most modern websites use cookies to function properly and provide personalized content.

Cookies typically store technical data such as language preferences, login information, session identifiers, and statistical data. They don't harm your device or files. Different types of cookies serve different purposes, from essential functionality to optional advertising features.

Collection of Personal Data

This Website does not request or store personal data from visitors in any database. We don't require registration, collect email addresses, or maintain user accounts. The cookies we use focus on improving your experience and understanding how people use the site in aggregate rather than tracking individuals.

We respect your privacy. The cookies on this Website do not collect or transmit personal information or sensitive data about visitors without explicit consent. Any data collected remains anonymous and cannot identify individual users.

Types of Cookies We Use

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly. They enable basic features like page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie preferences. You cannot disable these cookies because the Website won't work properly without them. Necessary cookies don't require your consent under EU regulations since they're required for the service you requested.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Website. These cookies collect anonymous information about which pages people visit, how long they stay, what links they click, and where they came from. This data helps us improve the site's structure, content quality, and navigation.

Our analytics service is provided by Google Analytics, configured to anonymize IP addresses and not share data with advertising networks. The service has been set up to respect privacy while providing useful insights about site usage. All data collected remains anonymous and cannot identify individual visitors.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies come from external services integrated into our Website. These services help provide useful features like flight search tools, maps, and transportation booking widgets. When you use these features, the service providers may place their own cookies on your device.

Third-party services on this Website include:

Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy and cookie practices. We recommend reviewing their policies if you have concerns about how they handle data. We don't control these third-party cookies and cannot access the information they collect.

Why We Use Cookies

Improve User Experience

Cookies help us remember your preferences so you don't need to reconfigure settings every visit. For example, we remember your cookie consent choice, preferred language, and which sections you've visited. This creates a smoother, more personalized browsing experience.

Understand Website Performance

Analytics cookies show us which pages attract the most visitors, how people navigate through the site, and where they encounter problems. This information guides improvements to content organization, page design, and overall functionality. We can identify popular information and ensure it remains easily accessible.

Provide Useful Services

Many features on this Website require cookies to function. Flight search tools need to remember your search parameters. Map services track your location preferences. Booking widgets store travel dates and destination choices. Without cookies, these services couldn't work properly.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You control which cookies this Website can use. When you first visit, you'll see a cookie notice asking for your consent. You can accept all cookies, reject optional ones, or customize settings to choose specific cookie categories.

Changing Cookie Settings

You can modify your cookie preferences anytime by adjusting your browser settings. However, blocking all cookies may prevent some Website features from working correctly. Necessary cookies will still function since they're required for basic operation.

Browser-Level Cookie Control

All major browsers let you manage cookies through their settings menus. You can block cookies entirely, delete existing ones, or set rules for which sites can store cookies. Here's how to access cookie settings in popular browsers:

Each browser handles cookies differently. Check your browser's help documentation for specific instructions. Blocking cookies won't harm your device, but some websites may not function as intended.

Cookie Duration

Cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them manually.

Session Cookies

These temporary cookies disappear when you close your browser. They help maintain your session as you move between pages, ensuring the Website recognizes you're the same visitor throughout your visit. Session cookies don't track you long-term.

Persistent Cookies

These cookies stay on your device for a set period, from a few minutes to several years depending on their purpose. Analytics cookies typically last 1-2 years, while preference cookies might last several months. Each cookie type has an appropriate duration for its function.

Data Retention

Google Analytics, our analytics provider, retains user-level data for 14 months from your last visit. After this period, if you don't return to the Website, your data gets automatically deleted from Analytics servers. This retention policy balances useful insights with privacy protection.

The anonymized data helps us understand long-term trends in site usage, identify seasonal patterns, and measure the impact of improvements. However, this data cannot identify individual visitors at any time.

Your Rights and Choices

Right to Refuse Cookies

You have the right to refuse optional cookies. Necessary cookies remain active since they're required for basic Website functionality. However, you can decline analytics and third-party cookies without losing access to information about the airport.

Impact of Declining Cookies

If you decline optional cookies, you'll still access all airport information on the Website. However, some interactive features like flight search widgets, maps, or booking tools may not work properly. You also won't contribute to our understanding of how to improve the site for future visitors.

Deleting Existing Cookies

You can delete cookies already stored on your device through your browser settings. This clears all saved preferences and resets the Website as if you're visiting for the first time. The next time you visit, you'll see the cookie consent notice again.
